Tonight's GD Trivia Question (Beat Me Daddy, Seven to the Bar) |
I just realized that the boys played no fewer than four numbers in seven-beat time (I mean, who does that?). Of the ones I'm thinking of, three had vocals, and all were introduced within a two-year period. And no, I'm not counting The Seven jams from the Mickey Hart and the Hartbeats shows in 1968. Can you name them?
EDIT: Hello again, grateful losers! I'm bumping this one up by editing the lead post, to give everyone one last chance to complete the answer. I normally don't do that, but it's a short thread and it seemed to call for that treatment. My apologies if anyone's offended.

Re: Tonight's GD Trivia Question (Beat Me Daddy, Seven to the Bar) |
Mr. Lou Davenport: People here in AshLand have no clue how to count numbers so music is out of the question. However, this is a sweet opening for me to drop down the lyrics for "Darkness, Darkness" which the band played only as an instrumenal and played the night after Jimi departed (hence, my earlier post).
So, my answer is "Darkness, Darkness."
How are you? Do you have Hunter's LP, "Flight of the Marie Helena: A Musical Narrative?"

DARKNESS, DARKNESS
Darkness, Darkness
Be my pillow
Take my head
And let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness, Darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see
Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depth of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of ri-ight now.
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence, the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right....
Oh yeah Oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah
